Our government is of the people, by the people, and for the people, so I don't see a difference, frankly. However, I feel confident and comfortable with interchanging the word government with the word people in the sentence I wrote.
I honestly cannot think of a single instance offhand where any governmental agency or policy does not benefit the people. Is there a specific program or something in existence now that doesn't benefit the people? It seems like it would be really easy to make spending cuts if there were programs to cut that had no benefit. The reason people get wary of spending cuts is because they hurt people, usually the people who are already struggling.
